Lightening Round ~ Probity

in #fiction5 years ago

Today's word of the day for February 17 is probity.

This day, thirty-five years ago, before the foundation was laid, he had stood on the same spot. His eyes had been free of tears when he tied her up and dragged her towards the shallow hole he dug. It didn't matter she was with child. He wasn't the father anyway. Today, he only felt exhausted.
